Rewarding behavioural skills as part of performance

Article Abstract:

The Birmingham Midshires Building Society resulted from the merging of two medium-sized building societies in 1986. The new organization needed to foster change and since then has developed the Managing for Results (MFR) performance management system. MFR gives the organization the ability to define what goals have to be achieved and how they must be achieved by assessing behavioral skills. Managers are also given assessor abilities ranging from observation to classification in order to form the foundation of a program for performance improvement.

What's New In... Performance Appraisal

Article Abstract:

Objectivity in performance appraisals even with all the new approaches is still a problem. Fundamental attribution error is discussed. People usually attribute external or situational reasons for their behavior while the person appraising the behavior usually attributes internal reasons like effort or ability. Self appraisal is reviewed as it is now used in assessment centers. Training to eliminate prejudices of the assessor is as necessary as training the assessee for self evaluation.
